What we struggle with all our lives are just ordinary experiences. Everything is unpredictable, so we need to stop struggling against the nature of reality. Life does continually go up and down. Recognize this to be real and true, and you will be able to relax and accept things as they are.
Five days left until the end of the year. There will be an ending, but with every ending there will be a new beginning. Limits and endings bring definition to our endeavours. But if we are to use them to our advantage, we must make a plan to meet them.
These ancient words are not the medicine, only the prescription; not the destination, but a map to help you reach it. Seeing it with your own eyes, hearing it with your own ears is the only way to the destination. When you get there your mind will be quiet and still.
When times are bad submit to them and remain quiet. It may be impossible to counteract the conditions of the time, it is not cowardice but wisdom to submit and avoid actions. A law of nature is at work, evil is not destructive to the good alone, but inevitably destroys itself as well.
